Question about Weight Gaining! 1st time ever since Surgery!
i hear you all. in the last two months i have suddenly put on 4-5 pounds and i cant seem to get it off again.
now true, i am hungry again 2 + years out. but i am not like eating wild or anything. so im trying hard to get back to basics but every day is a fight.
i hardly eat any white carbs, i e bread, pasta, rice. rarely if ever
i eat only sugar free choco or cookies or pudding when i want sweets.
the bottom line is i seem to be fighting some hunger again, especially evenings which was always my bad time of day
so im battling but damnnnnn i am not giving in and i am keeping a positive attitude and taking one day at a time. there is not more than that i can do at the moment.
good luck to everyone, but we all NEED to fight the panic mode, cause thats not a good place to be.
hugs to all, jacki

Hey Deb...If you need a partner let me know..I have gained 8 pounds..first time since surgery over 2 years ago too. I am in the LA area also. E-mail me if you want to get through this together!! I am starting tommorow going back to basics...protein, veggies and lots of water...I have to do alot of self talking and keep my mind off the food. I too am battling the hunger thing ARGGGG. Thats why I am on this forum to get myself in check.....
We all will forever have the issues in our minds that made us obese. WLS can never change that, we have to. Everyday, it is a battle for me. I am dedicated to winning. We gotta work our tool, and work our minds to over come this. I am with you all. I am only 13 months out, just had a TT, and got down to 115. I was too small, so I ate to get back to around 122-125. It was scary how easy that was to do. My body is out of wack with the TT a month ago, and my period keeps starting and stopping, so my weight is 123 one day, 126 the next, 124 the next. It is scary and crazy. I focus on protein first, lots of water, and at least some type of exercise 30 min a day. I park far out in the parking lot at work, eat my protein bar at lunch, then walk around the building, and I always sip water all day. So far, I am maintaining. Any other advise? The fear of putting it back on is terrible isn't it? I too feel like people are jus****ching, waiting to see it creep back. I will be GOSH DARNED to let that happen lol. Have a wonderful day everyone, be positive, and believe in yourself! We can do this. LOOK HOW FAR WE HAVE COME!
I am at my rope's end to, I am 2 years post-op and I have had health issues and now I have put on 50 pounds, and nothing I do seem to help.
There isnt a support meeting close to me anymore, so I am not getting the support I need. My surgeon is an eight hour drive one way from me, so I cant go back to him for help with the gas prices the way they are.
I am having knee surgery the 8th of this month, so exercise is out for 6 wks, anyway.
I NEED HELP BAD!!
Can anyone help me?

Hello,
Know where your at. I have have gained 40 lbs from my lowest weight of 144. Now at 180lbs,I am depressed. You think how could I have let myself let this get out of hand. I have been out from my bypass 5.5 years. The last two years is where I gained the weight back. Did the fun stuff went back to basics drank tons of water ate lots of protien lost about 2 lbs in a month yes I did exercise. I like alot of others live too far out to go to the meetings that are 42 miles one way. So I really don't know what to tell you about the exercise. Also live to far from a gym. You might be able to do small weights to till you can walk. I think what we need is to find what how many calories that we need to have. Because I have kept track on fitday and most the time I get around 1100 cal. Who knows? Well I just wanted to tell you to hang in there. If I find anything out that helps I will let you know. Oh I did buy a treadmill. Check out your local Craigslist.com. I have found a world of exercise stuff on there. But be careful some people want to much for thier stuff. You can get it cheaper and brand new else where. Good luck. I never tried (ww) my hubby is wanting to. Might check it out. Good Luck on your surgery. Let me know if you find your way back to losing the weight.
